It's not clear whether the program is attempting to determine it's

In the former case, getrusage() is the obvious choice. This as a
portable interface.
The program has to determine its own memory footprint. It has no children.
If you want to examine arbitrary processes, the best interface on
FreeBSD would be kvm_getprocs(3).
BTW, since you mention heap objects, I presume you are aware that
malloc() uses mmap(), rather than sbrk() to obtain memory.
No I wasn't aware of that.
In few words, the program needs to obtain and report information
reported by the SIZE column of top, since it is going to be run many
times, and it is impractical to watch top for this purpose.
Thanks.
